A member of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) has surrendered and yielded a high-powered rifle to military authorities in the province of Sulu, officials said Friday.
Brig. Gen. Leopoldo Imbang Jr., commander of the Army’s 1st Brigade Combat Team (1BCT), identified the ASG surrenderer as Al-amin Jul-ambri alias Albura, who belonged to the Abu Sayyaf’s Ajang-Ajang faction.
Imbang said Jul-ambri surrendered to the Task Force 92 (TF92) of the 1BCT in Barangay Buhanginan, Patikul, Sulu at about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
He said Jul-ambri turned over a US-made caliber .30 M1 Garand rifle and several rounds of ammunition, and received financial assistance and a sack of rice from the military.
Jul-ambri, a follower of Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Alkam Uljamal Hadjail, was placed under the custody of TF92 for custodial debriefing.
“All military and non-military actions are intensified by our ground forces to dissuade and convince more militants to lay down their arms and abandon their cause to put an end to terrorism in the province,” Maj. Gen. Corleto Vinluan Jr., Joint Task Force Sulu commander, said.
“Constant efforts by your armed forces will be exerted to win the hearts of rebels, that they may heed our call and reconsider crossing the line for good,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief.
“We want lasting peace and development in Mindanao, so genuine reconciliation should be made,” Sobejana said.
